Directions for a Jiffy Steamer
- 1). Put the item in need of steaming on a sturdy hanger, placing the heaviest part of the garment nearest to the floor. The force of gravity will pull on the weight of the fabric, helping to remove wrinkles.
- 2). Place the hanger in a location allows you unobstructed access to all sides of the garment, such as a shower rod or clear space in the closet.
- 3). Pour cool water into the reservoir of the steamer until it reaches the fill line. Turn the steamer on and observe it closely. When steam emerges from the steam head, the appliance is ready to use.
- 4). Agitate the steam head, shaking it gently to remove any excess water, and pull the hose and hold it taut, encouraging the smooth and steady flow of steam through the length of the tubing.
- 5). Hold the steamer in an upright position as this will allow any excess water to flow back into the appliance, rather than soaking into the fabric. Starting at the bottom of the garment, touch the wrinkled material lightly with the steam head. According to information published on the Jiffy Steamer website, when working with delicate fabric, it is best to hold the steam head two to three inches from the material to avoid damaging the fragile fibers. When working with heavy fabric it may be necessary to steam both sides of the garment.
- 6). Hold the steam head in place briefly, allowing the steam to rise to the top of the garment. Smooth over the treated portion of the fabric with your free hand.
- 7). Work your way around the article of clothing, gradually moving from the bottom to the top, until you have passed the Jiffy Steamer over the entire garment. Allow the fabric to dry and inspect your handiwork. If any wrinkles remain, run the steamer over them a second time.
